Complaints flood CNN - Prisonplanet

Complaints and demands for a retraction and an apology are flooding CNN today after Neo-Con host Glenn Beck and ex-Marxist David Horowitz smeared Ron Paul supporters, libertarians and the anti-war left as terrorist sympathizers and inferred that the U.S. military should be used to silence them, parroting a talking point that traces back to a September 2006 White House directive.

This is part of an ongoing propaganda assault which has also been mimicked by other anti-American Neo-Con talking heads like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh.

Beck opened up his show segment by inferring that the U.S. military should be used to silence domestic dissent against the war, claiming that those he would later identify as Ron Paul supporters, libertarians and the anti-war left and link with terrorists, were a "physical threat."


My daughters boycott letter to CNN

The comments that Glenn Beck are positively absurd. To think that we should use our military to silence people that are of a different opinion than his is ridiculous. I'm a Ron Paul supporter and a member of our military. By his thinking I am a terrorist. This is ridiculous. I watch CNN everyday. I watch American Morning and other assorted shows during the course of the day. I'm boycotting your station. This is ridiculous.

I also sent one (using the link provided by prisonplanet).

I am no longer going to watch CNN until they relent and fire Glenn Beck and I am going to boycott all of his advertisers (as I already let them know I would).

I don't think Glen himself was that bad, he mainly was talking about the sheer discontent with politics as usual and how he thinks it has led to Ron Paul's popularity and fundraising. Horowitz however, yeah, he needs to be addressed.

He WAS that bad.

Maybe it was just me then, I tend to be pretty easy going. Good to see they'll be called out on this crap eventually.

I hate prisonplanet.

I wish they would not put conspiracy theory spin on stories like these. A single fema employee calls the founding fathers terrorists.... BIG DEAL! GET OVER IT! THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO DO IN YOUR LIFE.

Beck actually committed serious over-kill though. After re-watching it, I noticed he also indicated that the Catholic Church backed Fawkes (untrue), compared Catholics to white supremisits (said that Fawkes was like McVeigh), implied strongly that peace activists are terrorists (thats just ridiculous and a contradicion), and of course that we are terrorists. Appearantly he felt that he was growing too popular and wanted to completely alienate his audience.

Oh, and he said the founding fathers were terrorists.

70 percent of Americans want change in policy

in a democracy if 30 percent do not want change and want the military to suppress the majority, "who are the terrorists"?

I also thought Glenn wasn't that terrible. He definitely said a few words that I wouldn't have chosen, but his main focus was that, as long as we don't take it to the violent extremes, what we're doing is good because it shows our discontent with all the frontrunners and the same old crap.

Horowitz sucks, though.

It's ridiculous that people are willing to let Glenn off the hook for calling Ron Paul supporters terrorists, even through inference.

Clearly either people who don't understand the stakes of the game, or are plants from the Beck camp trying to shape opinion here.

agreed. how can anyone take this so lightly? the man called Ron Paul supporters terrorists think about what that word means

 

[max]

we should file a class action lawsuit against him and FOX...

this is serious defemation and causes mental stress....

now we have to worry about beibng put in Guantanamo....i'll settle for a million bucks

 

[American]

What I find extremely weird is that Beck introduced Horrorwitz as a Marxist, and Horrorwitz goes on to say his parents were part of a vast communist party line if europe and then they both go on to say how Ron Paul hates America. Now if thats not the weirdest thing I dont know what is, even more so that no one seems to have picked up on it.

A self problaimed Marxist calling Ron Paul anti American, and his supporters are anti-America. I wish someone would blog that point to death.

I say we walk into CNN and goto his show with a "sneaker Bomb"........













Not a bomb in a sneaker but a BOMB of SNEAKERSSSS

Well now, I disagree with you here. At the very least, the FEMA employee should be fired. If this was really a FEMA employee conducting a training session, it is abhorrent that he would call our Founders, terrorists. The reason our country is in the shape it is today is because we let these types of things go by.

It means the same today as being called a witch in the middle ages. Only now waterboarding has replaced the iron maiden.

Glenn Beck is really insignifant in my eyes!

IM SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING ALEX IS A CONSPIROSY ADVOCATE WHEN 90% OF THE THINGS ON HIS SITE AND THINGS HE TALKS ABOUT ARE ALL 100% NEWS ARTICLES AND PROVEN TRUE THREW GOV DOCUMENTS AND TESTAMONIES.

I was thinking the same thing. People have such a hard-on for this guy. I agree that some of his audience people are strange and not very articulate about their facts, but ya can't say that about AJ. I say whoever our Prince anti-Jones figure is here should make a list of all this untrue conspiracy stuff and call in and show him what's up. Good Luck...
